I fucking hate Nintendo.
There is this ridiculous ongoing series called "Ask Iwata." A recent entry saw Miyamoto and Iwata talking about New Super Mario Bros. The whole thing is somewhat frightening, but I especially "enjoyed" this part:

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
You will all continue to buy their games, so what's the point in griping about it anymore?
Unless you're completionist (i.e., getting all the star coins in NSMBW), when is the last time you had to repeat any level over and over again in a Nintendo game?
edit: I'm only halfway through NSMBW and I hear some of the later levels can be a bitch. But aside from that...

I didn't miss the point. Their way of thinking might be flawed, but it hasn't led to any practical implications that I can recall.
